Hi, Ebberbuddie ~ Boots, da Kat sayin Howdee ~

Woe is me... Dad sez I'z havin a lil set-back ~
Wuz doin great - outta jail whenebber the guyz wuz home - loose inna howze all nite - peein purdy gud in wunna the boxes (I'z been alternatin tween the sandy wun anna papur wun) -an aktin kinda *chipper*.

An ketch THIS!
Last nite I wuz grabbin sum Zzzzz's onna fireplace hearth; so Dad openz the big frunt door fur more air. Dawgs gotz fed anna outie. Dad karashez inna kliner an noddz off. I wakez up an wanderz ober towardz the door ~ HEY! Door'z open - an Dad'z not sittin in it blockin the way... Wunder whut'z out there?

*OUT* I goez!

SmudgePot jumpz up an runz ober to Dad -
Hey Dad! Kat'z lookin out the DOOR! Better grab em!

Dad'z makin a lotta raket wiffa noze an dont hear the lil TattelTail.

Kinda *SPOOKIE* an *dark* out there! Made it offa porch an thru the weed gardun out to the weedz they kall grass... Nunbuddie knowez how long I wuz out there when Dad woked up bout sun-up. Dawgz are sleepin on hiz feetz hangin down offa kliner chair.

Dad axkz "Where'za KAT?" Slam'za frunt door an duz a howze search = NO Kat! OMG! Panik!

He ripz open frunt door an hollerz "Hay KoneHed - ya out here?"

I gibz him a reel friendlie *ChiIIRRp* frumma weed gardun an turnz so the yard lite shinez onna kone... Whudda HOOT!

Dad'z wearin his not much shortiez an NUFFIN else!
Tries to cum downna steps but members he gotz nuffin onna feetz. Getz his fuzzy slipperz on an jumpz inna gardun patch - but by then I wuz strollin downna bank towardz the drive. Ebberbuddie'z out lookin - durn Dawgz gibed me away - spotted me onna driveway.

Dad hotfootz it cross the yard in hiz not much shortiez an slipperz an makez da *GRAB*.
NUTZ! Furst time onna outie an it'z ober alreddy! Back inna howze...

They all jump'd onna BigBed an I *pouted* onna bunkroom floor... Till Dad herd me doin sum SEER-euz skratchin inna sandy box. He getz up an checkz on me - skratchin, squattin, an GRrrrrin inna box ~ Nuffin happenin - AGIN!

I wuz runnin back-n-forth tween the sandy anna papur boxes - jest a kupla lil *dribbelz* anna lotta *GROWlin* = Uhhh-Oohhhh...

Off we all goez to the Fire Station (Dad hadda pick up sum Big Fire papurz). I'z pantin lika dawggie when he cumz out in a kupla minitz. IN we all goze fur sum wadder (he had that durn sqwirt gun syringe in hiz poket!) anna gulp a kold air inna offis - it'z got a kold air box...
He brinz in my papur box - I jumpz in an duz a reeley HuMUNgus *PEE* onna papurz - but it'z got a lil red stuff mixed in... Dad grabz a baggie an pourz the pee in da baggie an stuffz it inna fridge. Callz Doc Lisa's Place an I hear em plottin ta drag me in fur a check-out...

Dash to da Shop to dump the Dawgz an anudder 3 sqwitz a wadder inta me. Onna road fur 5 minitz an I duz a pee an dumpz a load a *stinkey*, too!

Made the mistake of doin a lil *pantin* onna way ober... In we go wiffa sampelz an whut'z he do? Wuntz a kuppa wadder! Rite inna waitin room I getz tossed onna chair an anudder 4 sqwirtz a wadder!
GOTTA stop wiffa pantin!

Gotta phizikal frumma nudder White Coat (bladdur tank wuz nice an em-tee!) when Doc Lisa showz up - seemz they lost a kupla offis stafferz an she'z in on vacation helpin out! BOFF of em are talkin bout me an lookin at my zipper. Docz say the zipp'z healin so gud they dont wanna pull the zip stringz - they'z the dizolvin kind ennieway.
Pee an poop testz looked GUD! No kristallz but a lil hi onna pH anna blud ... "Normal" wiffa bladdur infekshun, sez Doc Lisa.

Why the big no-pee krisis??
Figger they shudint otta have quit wiffa biotik pillz eben tho I'z been on em fur bout 3 weekz. Wound up wiffa nudder 10 dayz a biotikz (lil lower dose this tyme) an ANUDDER pill - *steeroidz* they sed. Gotta take FOUR differunt pillz ebery day fur a while! (Dad LUVz shootin pillz wiffa pill popper gun! )

Doc Lisa sed sum katz - an ebberbuddie'z lookin at ME! - jest have a hard tyme gettin rid of bladdur infekshunz. I must be wunna the Sum Kat krowd...

Gotta gib Dad a pee sampul in 9 dayz (that'll be a phunn event!) to take to Doc Mike fur a test - if my pH is gud an ther'z nuffin else swimmin inna pee - I getz an extree 10 dayz onna biotik pills to make sure I stayz kleen. Then they'll start takin away the Dopey pillz anna *steeriodz*, too.

Meentime Dad sez I gotta enroll inna drug programme...

Lookz like I'z gonna keep the kone thingy fur a while - Guy Doc sez it'll keep me frum playin wiffa plummin... An Dad got ordurz ta keep sqwirtin wadder inta me till *I* start gulpin a lot by muself an get back to a regelur pee cycle. NUTZ!

An I s'ppoze I'll be spendin summore tyme inna baffroom jail ... Dad'z gonna gimmie a *kushun* sumwhere inna baffroom to uze fur a lay-me-down pad so'z I don't get ennie papur sorez or pee-burnz frum layin inna papur pee box.

Gotta run ~ Dad'z loadin up hiz durn wadder gun agin!

TANKz SOOOO MUCH fur allua letterz an get-well wishuz an Prayerz all you FurKidz an Hoominz been sendin my way! They're a Big Help to Dad an me while we fight my *problemz*. Meenz a LOT to us!
